A lab exploring the fluctuating currents inside the ocean that are generated by meandering ocean currents and eddies.
AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling the fluctuating flows within the ocean
Fujio Lab (Ocean Variability Dynamics) studies the fluctuating flows inside the ocean.
Flows generated by meanders of ocean currents, mesoscale eddies, convection driven by winter cooling, and changes in winds over the sea surface play a major role in transporting and mixing materials in the ocean.
Through ocean observations and numerical experiments, the lab aims to clarify the actual state and mechanisms of these variations, which have not been sufficiently studied until now.
Key terms
- Mesoscale eddy
- A large eddy that forms in the ocean, with a diameter of roughly tens to hundreds of kilometers
- Deep ocean circulation
- An ocean current that flows slowly at depths of several thousand meters and circulates through the world's oceans
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the actual state and mechanisms of the fluctuating flows inside the ocean that are caused by meanders of ocean currents, mesoscale eddies, and similar phenomena, using ocean observations and numerical experiments.
*Illustrative imageStudying deep ocean circulation
The lab studies deep ocean circulation, which flows at depths of several thousand meters, through numerical simulations and ocean observations.
*Illustrative imageMonitoring the Kuroshio with sea level data
The Kuroshio, which flows south of Japan, undergoes large variations such as the large meander. Using sea level data continuously recorded at coastal tide gauge stations, the lab works with other researchers to monitor these variations.
